Criminal fraudsters are again attempting to fraudulently coax online clients of the e-cash processor Neteller to divulge their account details on a fake Neteller site.

This week several portals were warning their visitors to beware of an email claiming to be from Neteller that says:

Quote:

Dear Customer,

According to our registries, we have recently detected that your account has been accessed from different IP addresses. This could be happening because your computer's IP address is dynamic and varies constantly, or because you have used more than one computer to access your account.

Due to this event and in fulfillment with the current legislation, we have updated our computer systems to offer greater security to our clients, thus we will need you to access your account and verify it's recent activity.

The security procedures require that you verify the activity in your account before December 11th, 2006. Otherwise, passed (sic) this date, our automated computer security system will suspend your account indefinitely.

In order to access your account and to verify it's activity, you must click on the link below:

https://www.neteller.com/signin/index.jsf;jsessionid=L41254B68N74P472K58K210A7AGG3658.32652100211

We appreciate your help in this matter, as we work together for NETELLER to be a safe place to do businesses.

Neteller users are urged to ignore this email and certainly to avoid clicking on the link it contains. The URL is cloaked and the unwary will be directed to a fraudulent Neteller site which attempts to obtain account details for subsequent plundering.
